This proves all the entryism skeptics correct btw, behaving identical to the Democrats which is key here cuz the stated fundamental goal of the DSA was to “push the Democrats and Overton Window to the left”
The DSA folks seem much more excited about their defeat of the “ultra-left”, whom they think they can now safely ignore, than defeating centrists whose votes they want.
@HellFire80085 So true it categorically excluded black people and other minorities from the work programs it offered along with a blot of the other social safety nets. The only way FDR was able to get segregationist support for the ND was by promising black people would see 0 benefits from it.
The reason was because the CPUSA supported the New Deal cuz popular frontism, a genuine betrayal, tailing behind developments, and this anti fascism bullshit (extreme brainworm) is why the legacy of FDR haunts the left so much!
"left" saying that fdr "undermined the revolution", giving it as an example of reformism being actively harmful, but the 30s us clearly didn't have a communist movement capable of it
the american workers waged the whole coal wars, and yet, these large workers' uprisings didn't--
Will be structured with councils or equivalent, right to recall, and more importantly the abolition of wage labor and social divisions of labor… removing the material basis for alienation (the point of communism) will solve the alienation between public power and civil society.
Genuine question: Do Marxists have a contingency plan for when the proletarian state accumulates so much power that it becomes unaccountable to the proletariat, separates itself from them, and ceases being genuinely proletarian? I just get told, “It withers away, trust me bro.”
Property relations ≠ Social relations.
State ownership or communist party rule isn’t what defines a socialist mode of production, it’s the specific social relations that structure production that matter for us as marxists.
The personalities in question being subject to historical revisionism, the backing evidence being an apparent absence of evidence, the evidence proving a conspiracy and the lack of such likewise proving conspiracy! The modern western communist is closer to that than to Trotsky!
Trotsky is the perfect example of what the modern Western communist is. He allows disagreements on party issues to turn into fascist collaboration and anti-communist rhetoric. Disagreements are fine in the party, but personalities are what destroys them. Trotsky was for himself.
I will never understand how people misread Marx's historical materialism so poorly as a strict and universal formula and not a dynamic method of analysis. He explictly states at the end of chapter 26 that:
Fascism is the bourgeoise offensive and is very very bad. What Bordiga rightly pointed out was it wasn't reactionary compared to the democratic bourgeoisie but it a deadly weapon against the workers and the revolution. FDR was one of capitals greatest soldiers and thats bad
Are LGBT dating apps just better when not in the US?
I tried HER and didn’t see a single human like me
Tried Taimi and met some people but the app would force my age and distance filters to give me people too far away, but no such issue in my city in Mumbai tho
@SpicyDumpling02 Actual radical left America had was Ted Kaczynski. He was everything you could describe as radical left as he was against technology and for nature and there is much more to read about him.
What I think is great about the Mussolini series, and the reason so many leftists are drawn to it, is that Mussolini does not, at any point, change his fundamental beliefs about the world. He basically invents fascism to (besides gaining power) punish the world and people.
@hlaweard87119 Huh, interesting
